Further, during a call, characters and comments can be displayed on the display unit based on personal data and communication history information. In this case, it is generally impossible to see the display unit of a mobile phone, but the display unit is viewed when using a hands-free function or when using an extension cord for an earphone and a microphone. be able to.
[0045]
In FIG. 1, the history unit 6b of the memory 6 is a second storage unit that stores a communication history in association with the identification information of the transmission source when a voice call is received or text information is received. For example, when a telephone number X of a mobile phone is used as identification information and an electronic mail is received from this mobile phone, a communication history is recorded in which one received mail is associated with the identification information X. At this time, it is possible to record the date and / or time of reception as well as date / time information of both of them as the communication history. Also, the total number can be recorded as one category for both mail transmission and reception as mail communication. It can also be recorded as one category of voice call and mail transmission. That is, various categories can be selected for performing statistical processing for managing communication history.
[0046]
The communication history information is stored in association with identification information such as a telephone number. However, when other identification information such as a name is stored in the memory dial in association with the telephone number, It can be stored in association with the communication history information after being converted into other identification information such as a name corresponding to the telephone number. Of course, when the identification information of the transmission source mobile phone or the like transmitted via the radio base station is a device ID or a mail address, the communication history information can be associated with the identification information as identification information.
[0047]
Here, when mail is received as new character information (voice incoming call, etc.), the telephone number of the transmission source received at that time is extracted, and the history information corresponding to the telephone number stored in the history unit 6b is extracted. The number of times of reception is extracted together with the current reception, and is calculated in the control unit 4, and the calculation result and the name corresponding to the telephone number X or the telephone number X registered in the memory dial Is displayed on the display unit 7 as character information.
[0048]
At this time, image information (still image or moving image) associated with the number of receptions is stored in the memory 6, and image information corresponding to the number of receptions obtained from the calculation result in the control unit 4 is read from the memory 6. Can be displayed on the display unit 7.
[0049]
When the date and time information is also recorded in the history part 6b together with the number of times of reception, the number of times of reception can be totaled and displayed in units of one day, such as “Today is the ○ th reception”. When the number of receptions is recorded in units of one day, communication history information based on the number of receptions can be cleared on the next day.
[0050]
The reception frequency (for example, how many times / hours, how many times / day, how many times / week, how many times / (several hours, days, weeks) is not just the number of times of reception. ), Or the elapsed time since the previous reception, the number of days elapsed, the previous reception date, the previous reception time, etc.) is obtained by the processing of the control unit 4, and the processing result is displayed as a text message. You can also. For example, if it is determined that the reception is 3 times / day or more on average for one week, “Reception frequency is 3 times / day” is displayed. Also, abstractly, for example, when the reception frequency is 0.1 times / day on average in a week, the message “I am a person who occasionally gives mail” is displayed, and when it is 3 times / day Can display the message "I'll email you well".
[0051]
If the previous reception is 7 weeks ago, the message “Last reception was 7 weeks ago” or “7 weeks have passed since the last reception” or abstractly “Receive for a long time” message is displayed. If the previous reception is one day ago, a message such as "Last reception is one day ago" or abstractly "I sent you a mail again" can be displayed. Various kinds of messages as described above are stored in the memory 6, and messages corresponding to the calculation results of the communication history information in the control unit 4 are read out and displayed on the display unit 7. Note that the frequency information is useful for determining whether to continue using the mobile phone.
[0052]
Whether the reception plan information when receiving a business report or the like is registered in the fourth storage unit such as the registration unit 6a of the memory 6 and the reception according to the reception plan is performed using the calendar function. This can be determined by the control unit 4. For example, an e-mail reception plan is registered based on the telephone number of a communication device such as a mobile phone of the transmission source or the name of the user. As a reception plan, a date such as n messages / hour (n = integer), n messages / day, n messages / week, n messages / month, or June 20 (a plurality of days may be specified). For example, March 3, April 3, May 3, etc.). In the case of a reception plan for an incoming call, it can be set to n times / day, n times / week, or the like. Such a setting can be selected according to the business content and the like.
[0053]
The control unit 4 acquires the communication history information recorded in the history unit 6b periodically or by operating the input operation unit 5, and determines whether or not the set reception plan is satisfied. If not, when the user's name is A and the phone number is X, a comment such as “Mr. A, phone number X does not satisfy the reception plan” can be displayed. At that time, a still image or a moving image by the selected type of character can be displayed. If the condition is satisfied, a comment such as “Mr. A of telephone number X satisfies the reception plan” can be displayed. In this case as well, it is possible to display a still image or a moving image including the selected type of character.
[0054]
In addition, if the control unit 4 does not satisfy the determination result of whether or not the reception plan is satisfied, for example, reception from the above-mentioned telephone number X, Mr. A, It is possible to perform control for automatically transmitting an electronic mail having a predetermined content. The predetermined content can be, for example, a warning content such as “Warning: The plan is not satisfied”. Also, based on the reception plan, for example, in the case of a one-day / day reception plan, when it reaches m hours until the mail transmission deadline for achieving this reception plan (for example, 2 hours before 22:00), automatically In addition, a message such as “Warning: E-mail sending deadline is approaching” can be sent. In addition, when this warning message is transmitted, a message “Would you like to send a warning message?” Is displayed on the display unit 7, and it is determined whether or not the message is to be transmitted according to a key operation or the like. You can also.
[0055]
Also, an agent function is realized by the functions of the program stored in the control unit 4 and the memory 6 and the display unit 7, and by this agent function, the above-mentioned various comments can be displayed and registered. . In addition, a program for display corresponding to the combination of the communication history information and personal data described above, and a character, a comment, and the like are recorded on a recording medium that can be read by a computer, and from the recording medium to the communication device It can also be downloaded.
